My responses were not intended for the stubborn. They are intended to educate those with an open mind and ability to think logically who might otherwise be influenced to waste their money on gadgets that have absolutely no benefit just because someone on the internet said it's important. The...

I don't believe this for a second. He showed about 3 ounces of oil in 1000 miles. Given an average MPG of 17 that tiny 3 ounces would have been diluted by about 60 GALLONS of fuel.

They are not important in the slightest for the 5.7. The 5.7 is a port injected engine so any oil that gets by will be diluted and cleaned from the valves by the gasoline from the injector's. Might be some benefit to the new Hurricane engine as it is direct injected.

Only about 4% of approved patents ever get manufactured.

I suspect COVID taught the manufactures that it's more profitable to maintain a smaller inventory than it is to have so many vehicles sitting on lots that they have to offer huge rebates just to get rid of them. Stellantis ended production of the Classic line but they did not move that...

FYI. He didn't say he had a Hurricane engine. He said he has a "2025 Dodge V6". The 3.6 V6 with eTorque is still available in 2025 and is the standard motor in some trims like the Tradesman.

The resolution was actually to Chrysler's benefit as they got you to pay for the cost of the part and labor to install it by quoting you a scary outrageous price. The inverter can be had new for around $120 (dealer certainly paid less) and it's an easy install.

I recently read on another forum that it does have auto locks and Ram is aware of a problem with it. They just don't yet have a fix.

What's to get used to? I've had MDS in my last 2 Rams and it's operation was completely imperceptible. My current Ram allows me to enable and light on the dash that shows when it cuts off cylinders. I turned it on for a while and the only time MDS engaged was when coasting. If not for the...

It's easy to imagine that what you say is confusing or incomplete since the title of you post says "maybe a suggestion" but your post contains no suggestion.

I would have the dealer replace it. I can't imagine someone at the factory writing on a component that meets or exceeds standards, but I can imagine a factory inspector marking up a defective component that failed to meet standards.

You must have an unstated issue with your truck since a short period of rough idle at start-up hardly makes a truck a paperweight regardless of how much the truck costs.

Bwsteg hasn't visited the forum in 3 years so don't hold your breath for an answer.

Any oil or filter recommended in the owners manual changed at the interval found in the manual will provide a lifetime of protection for your pickup. No reason to overthink it.

That's why I changed from Allstate to USAA many years ago. I had a shopping cart blow across a parking lot and slam into the side of a new car. It clearly fit within my policy definition of comprehensive damage and I had no deductible for comprehensive. Allstate argued that because the...

Absolutely. If he didn't reprogram the computer for the new tire size he could easily be getting 2 mpg better that what is being calculated. He's also likely driving about 5 mph faster than what the speedometer reads.

The first time I disconnected my trailer it was obvious to me the connector attachment was not very strong. My fix was to push in on the truck connection with one hand while pulling the trailer connection free with the other hand.

I don't think I've ever owned a vehicle that got the mileage listed in the EPA estimate. My truck is rated at 17 city and 22 highway. About 80% of my driving is highway and I've never seen anywhere close to 22 mpg. Manually calculated, I've averaged 16.8 over the last 8000 miles. I get...

If your insurance goes up as a result of this accident, I would change insurance carriers. My insurance, USAA, would treat this same as if I were hit by someone without insurance and it would not affect my rates.

Tire change dealers in my area, especially Dobbs Auto Tire, are notorious for taking more of your money by telling you that you need an alignment after you buy 4 new tires. When you decline they pressure you by telling you they won't warrant the tire if you pay even more money and buy their...
